Thanks to everyone who came to the inaugural Moonlight Breakfast at the IUS Library! We had a great turnout of about 200 people who enjoyed free breakfast while taking part in a new IUS tradition. If you missed out this time, don’t worry—we’ll definitely do it again. Good luck on your finals!
On Friday, Dec. 11, OPEN BOOKS will be doing our Christmas thing, discussing Dylan Thomas' short Christmas memoir, A Child's Christmas in Wales. Join us at 12 noon in LB230 on Friday!
AN INVITATION TO ALL
The IUS Library sponsors a monthly book discussion group called OPEN BOOKS, which welcomes members of the community as well as IUS staff members, students, and faculty. Regular attendees include several people from each of those categories, and that variety of viewpoints invariably makes for interesting and lively discussion, no matter what book is under examination.
We'd like to again invite everyone--staff, faculty, students, and commuinity members-- to join us on the second Friday of each month at noon in the Library, to enjoy coffee, lemonade, cookies, and good conversation. You don't have to make a regular commitment; you can come to as many or as few meetings as you like. Here is a list of the books we will be reading for the rest of this year:
Please join us for one or more of these discussion.
OPEN BOOKS, the Library's campus/community book club, will meet on Friday, September 11, to discuss the book A Spell of Winter, by Helen Dunmore.
The IUS Library is sponsoring a quilt show in our First Floor Gallery Nov. 17-Feb. 1. Anyone connected to IU Southeast (including mothers, grandmothers, uncles, etc.) is welcome to submit a hand or machine-made quilt of any size.

Every year the IUS Library sponsors a Fine Arts Competition for all students enrolled at IUS. The works deemed best by an independent judge are then purchased by the Library to become a permanent part of its collection. We've been doing this long enough now that we have a quite respectable collection. Though many of the pieces have been hanging in the Library, we have not shown them together until now. Please come to see what fine work IUS student artists do! The First Floor Gallery is open all the hours that the Library is open. (see www.ius.edu for hours)
